Listen Up Synopsis

From real-life radio stars Roman Kemp and Vick Hope, comes this brilliantly funny book for children.

At their school, Arthur and Grace reign supreme: after all, they're the cool kids. They're also the radio kids, and between them they run the schools top two radio shows. Which means that as well as being the most popular kids, Grace and Arthur are also the biggest rivals.

So when a storm hits their school during a surprisingly popular chess tournament, and a blackout ensues, they can't wait to be the first to report on the storm. But things get complicated the very next day when their teacher tells them that the real scoop isn't the storm; it's the missing trophy.

Suddenly Arthur and Grace are in well over their heads. But with the whole school relying on them, there's no backing out now.

If anyone can figure out this mess, it's Arthur and Grace. After all, if you rule the airwaves, you rule the school...
